MapMirror gives everyone at the table a shared, living map to look at your world, city, region, or battle. Point at a door, measure a spell's range, reveal the next room, and your players see it live. It's made to support your in-person TTRPG game, not digitize it. You keep rolling real dice around a real table. MapMirror is simply the map they gather around, with your cities, regions, and dungeons linked into one connected world instead of a random pile of images. Connect a TV wirelessly with AirPlay or a monitor over a cable, and the map mirrors live. For the optimal experience we recommend an iPad with Apple Pencil. On iPhone and Mac you get a dedicated interface adapted to the platform. • Square & hex grids with real-distance calibration • Tokens, labelled markers, and fog of war • Draw on multiple layers, from a quick sketch to a map you build up over sessions • Link maps with markers and jump from the world map into a city or dungeon • Measure distances in your own units, point things out with the laser pointer • Control exactly what your players see and plan ahead in private • Notes, folders, backups, and image export No account. No internet needed. Nothing leaves your device. Free to try with every tool unlocked. The free version includes: • 2 maps and 1 note • 4 tokens per map • 2 markers per map • 2 texts per map • 2 drawing layers per map Backups and map export are part of the full version. One purchase lifts all limits and you keep it forever. No subscription.

About

Dice Drop

Read full description

Dice Drop is a free 3D physics dice roller — real, tumbling dice that bounce off the tray, knock into each other and settle where they land, just like the dice on your table. No sign-up, and it works offline. Nothing is pre-decided. There is no random number dressed up with a picture of a die: the dice are thrown into a walled tray, the physics runs on your device, and the result is read from whichever face finishes upwards. EVERY DIE YOU NEED • D2 (coin), D3, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and the iconic D20, A true 100-sided D100 ball, plus classic percentile D% (two D10s) • Build a mixed pool of up to 20 dice and roll them together — 8d6 for a fireball, a fistful of d6 for a wargame, 4d6 drop-lowest for stats • A live running total, with dropped dice shown separately so you can see the maths • Roll history and lifetime statistics, kept on your device BUILT FOR REAL GAMES • Advantage, disadvantage and modifiers built in • Create and save your own formulas and macros — fire "Fireball 8d6" or "Longsword 1d20+5" with one tap, grouped by character • A D2 for every call: heads or tails, hit or miss, yes or no, go or stop, attack or defend, success or fail, odd or even • Shake the phone to throw, or tap ROLL — whichever suits the table KNOW THE GAME • A Dice & Games Guide built into the app: 73 game guides covering D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Warhammer 40,000, Blades in the Dark, Shadowrun, Vampire, Traveller, Yahtzee, Catan, Craps, Farkle, Backgammon and dozens more • Each one explains which dice the game uses, how a roll resolves, and what the odds actually are — worked out, not hand-waved • Plus the dice themselves: what a D4 is for, how percentile is rolled with two D10s, and where each shape came from • Free, behind no purchase, and every word of it works with no internet connection MAKE IT YOURS • 20 dice materials — steel, marble, wood, liquid-core, frosted glass, neon, galaxy, onyx, ivory, jade, amber, copper, silver, gold and gemstones • 9 table colours plus a custom colour picker, from tavern green to wine, midnight and sand • 7 tray surfaces — felt, wood, stainless steel, ceramic, marble, slate and glass • Hear the material: felt, wood, ceramic, gem and metal impact sounds, each recorded to match • Tune the physics yourself — gravity, bounciness and throw force PLAY TOGETHER • Share a four-letter room code and everyone sees each other's rolls live, in the same room — no accounts, nothing stored • Pass and play on one screen, passing the phone round the table • Push every roll straight to Discord or a virtual tabletop such as Foundry FAIR AND FAST • Every throw is seeded from your device's secure random source (crypto.getRandomValues) — no result is weighted, nudged or re-rolled • Full haptics on collisions and on the result • Dice settle quickly and decisively, with no waiting around • Works offline once loaded, including the whole guide FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE Every die type, the whole guide, roll history, statistics and the tavern green table are free — up to four dice a roll — supported by a single banner ad. Premium adds macros and the formula builder, all 20 finishes and table colours, mixed pools, up to 20 dice, the sound and haptic packs, physics tuning, Play Together, Pass and Play and the Discord webhook. Try it free for seven days — no card, no account, nothing to cancel. Every purchase is one payment, never a subscription. Perfect for D&D, Pathfinder, Warhammer, Yahtzee, board games, or any time you need honest dice. From the makers of wheelnamer.com.
